How we work
How we run the network.
We publish the sources
An AI answer is written from pages. We build them, category by category and suburb by suburb, and keep them true.
Nothing we cannot trace
Every fact carries its source. If we cannot show where it came from, it is not published.
Numbers first, then words
Crawler, citation and visitor claims say what was recorded, between which dates, by which method. Measurements stay separate from our assessment of program coverage.
Clear commercial boundaries
In the Partner Program, Featured is labelled and capped at three per category per city. The organic list is never for sale.
The people behind it
Built in Melbourne. Run by the publisher.
Ben Adler founded Starworks in 2024 to own the places where businesses are discovered. Businesses work with us directly; agencies can use the network for their clients.
Book a conversation and you meet Ben. We check your coverage and whether the program fits.
